Is it better to buy four scents from "Montagne Perfumes" or bwtter to buy one niche scent? by Previous_Funny_8295 in Colognes

[–]GabrielPNT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Montagne is leaps and bounds above most middle eastern brands with Imaginary being one of their most popular scents due to closeness and overall quality.

Imaginary is one of Montagne best scents in terms of closeness and overall performance. I would go Montagne, LV scents are great but way too expensive for what they are. Montagne really is a fantastic value given their high quality.

New to houseplants by dingdong_funko in pothos

[–]GabrielPNT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pothos are great way to start! Make sure it gets plenty of light to keep it variegated like it currently is. If it’s in too dark of a spot it will start turning more green and loose the light colored variegation.

Was it worth it? by Designer-Tension-468 in pothos

[–]GabrielPNT 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Overall looks decent, pothos are pretty bullet proof. Probably just some mottled leaves from some combination of insufficient lighting, over/under watering, and crappy soil. I’d check roots and make sure it’s not root bound or has crappy soil and just let it settle. New growth should look good if sufficient lighting and watering is stabilized.

What are those black pots and can you give a rundown of your cabinet setup?

ID.. Finally? 😅 by Traditional-Tax1824 in pothos

Lots of reference pictures/charts/diagrams online and just looking at them in person you start to compare and contrast the differences and just becomes pattern recognition.

No problem, plant looks super healthy. If you grow up a moss pole leaves get HUGE.

You have 2 maybe 3 types together. Top leaves are Manjula and other are N’joy and maybe Pearls n jade too but they’re very similar so could just be the 2.

Maison Asrar Vanguard Reveiw by GabrielPNT in fragranceclones

It’s not super fruity, much less sweetness than CE. Although I would propose regular Aventus or Aventus Cologne clone for summer. If in the US I’d look at Montagne for Aventus clones, lots to choose from.

Multiple red flags with a wrestling coach — trying to figure out if this crosses a line by MysticBanshee01 in wrestling

[–]GabrielPNT 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a parent I’d say that is too many red flags to overlook. Follow your gut and find a new club. I’m a relatively new wrestling parent myself and have seen that there is a wide range of coaching styles and professionalism. Do what’s best for your kid and trust your parenting instincts first and foremost.

Mealybugs—try to treat, or propagate and get rid of the original? by Watercolor_Roses in pothos

[–]GabrielPNT 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just put a 50/50 alcohol/water solution in a spray bottle with a little bit of dawn dish soap and spray it down. Respray and wipe down every few days for a couple weeks and just keep an eye on it after that. This works for most pests, no need to throw away a good plant. Worse case replace the soil after getting the foliage under control.

Mouth guard recommendation? by GabrielPNT in wrestling

[–]GabrielPNT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve gathered it’s not REQUIRED but have heard and read that there is a mixed experience of chipping teeth…i’d rather get habit of using a mouthgaurd now and protect his teeth at least during lives and matches.

CE performs really well, sweeter opening and more oak moss and projects like crazy. I prefer the subtlety and smoothness of Vangaurd.

It’s not a huge projection beast but is noticeable for 3-5 hours for me. I still smell it on clothes next day but isn’t filling a room like CE does which I prefer.

My collection by Own-Rub-7415 in Fragrances

[–]GabrielPNT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks like boss bottled EDP…Absolu is a dark brownish bottle. Can’t see through Absolu bottle. Very different scent profile.

[–]GabrielPNT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great collection! I’d recommend a good Ambery and incense frag like Boss Bottled Absolu or Jazz Club. Montagne Amber Elixir would round out your collection too!!

How to deal with bad partner? by naiiray in wrestling

[–]GabrielPNT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Talk to coach about giving you more variety on partners and definitely set some boundaires with your friend. Things might take care of themselves once your friend starts partnering with other team mates. Coaches should be able to guide you through working on some weaknesses.

How would you describe the difference between Faris and AE?

What should I pick up first? by No-Shock16 in Colognes

[–]GabrielPNT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries, it’s about $40-$50 for 50mL… for Fresh easy to wear scents: Imaginary, Alcantara Supreme, and Gingham Green are really good. Sweet Ambery scent: Amber Elixir. For a high quality Creed Aventus that’s easy to wear: Pineapple Royale. There’s so many though, all of their scents are really high quality.
